Kirchoff to Schalke for an 18 month loan deal.

Don't know what to make of this piece of business but I guess he could use the playing time. Pep seems dead set on playing Javi as backup CB if anything happens to Dante and Boateng! My worry is Dante is only a booking from suspension in the UCL not too comfortable with a lumbering 35 going on 36 year old Van Buyten as primary backup

dayokanu: A striker like Demba Ba for example has more abilities than all Arsenal strikers and he has proven it in the league. Its due to misuse that Demba Ba is not playing regularly or scoring. if Ba was given a regular starting berth at Chelsea like its given to Giroud at Arsenal he would be in double digit.

There is a reason Jose refused to sell Ba to Wenger he knows what good management can do to Ba like it happened in Newcastle
Ba has played a whopping 285 minutes and started only 2 games I wonder were the production is supposed to come from

dayokanu: Chelsea put the wrong man as number 1 striker. Torres of Liverpool was a fluke that Roman is determined to make work at all cost
To be honest 3 goals in a calendar year is abysmal even for Torres! Eto'o who is at least 3 years older is level on goals with Torres this season despite playing almost 200 minutes less

dayokanu: Chelseas squad is 2nd best if not best in the league and the type of football on display is woeful to say the least. An attack of Mata, Hazard, Oscar, William, Torres, Schurrle, Ba Etoo have more pedigree than most teams in the league yet due to Mourinhos poor management are playing badly
I truly am at a loss as to how anyone can brag about this team being 4th highest scorers. This was a team widely tipped to win the league when the season started. Mourinho is busy moaning about strikers when he has at least 4 capable ninjas that can play that position. I wonder what Alan Pardew with Cisse and Remy or Wenger wey dey manage Bendtner,Giroud would have to say about this

dayokanu: Liverpool has an inferior squad to Tottenham, to United, are 1 point behind Chelsea that in itself is an over-achievement for a team who can only boast of one top class player in its ranks. A team made of Coutinho, Sterling, Moses, Henderson, Allen Aspas and is only 1 point behind the megastars of Chelsea is an over-achievement.
Mere looking at Liverpool's performance at White Hart Lane and the daylight robbery at the Etihad it would be disingenious to give Mourinho credit for anything like Ibime is claiming

ritchboy: Oh, so Chelsea's strikers have 'ability' but are 'under-performing'? The same ninjas that have been telling us Torres[Chelsea's best/most-used striker] has lost it for three years are now trying to convince us he is simply 'under-performing'. Maybe if Maradona comes out of retirement and scores 2 league goals in a calendar year you will say 'he's just under-performing', what a joke.
I don't think even Torres's biggest critic would deny his ability! You don't play so many games for the Spanish National Team without being above average his goalscoring record pre-Chelsea shows the ability is there. Actually he is the poster-child of the underperformance we are talking about! When you under-perform for a long period of time its easy to deduce that a player has or might have lost it. Its simple logic bruh keep up

ritchboy: Nonsense. Chelsea are the fourth highest scorers in the league, yet basically every other team in the league can boast a striker with a better goal ratio than all Chelsea's strikers, COMBINED. Ba + Eto'o + Torres = 5 goals in over 1,620 minutes of football. . . It's not even funny.
You are a confused ninja! If Ba,Eto'o and Torres are only combining for 5 goals while unknown and largely unproven EPL talent like Rodriguez and Remy are doing far better then what else do you need to see to realize that certain players are not producing to the level of their talent? How is the most expensively assembled attacking talent only able to manage 4th highest scoring position in the league? If you were the largest investor in a company would you be satisfied if you were only the 4th highest earner when it is time to reap dividends?

ritchboy: Mourinho's team is currently above Rodger's team. If one manager punches above his weight it doesn't mean every other manager has to do the same or face a tribunal. Why aren't Pellegrini, Moyes and co also on trial for not emulating Rodgers? Is JM the only manager in the league?
.
You are missing the point! All I said is Mourinho has not achieved anything special and Brendan Rodgers has done more with the squad at his disposal so far. How Pellegrini and Moyes entered this discussion is surely a question for Ifa and his friends

dayokanu: Thats the hilarious part.

The same ppl who were arguing that Chelsea first 11 is better than Bayerns are now the same ppl saying their team is worse than Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool
Me sef dey wonder like Femi wonder wonder. At the start of the season all I saw was bullish confidence. Boys been dey beat chest like silverbacks all of a sudden even Warri Wolves have a better squad than Chelsea

Ibime: 2011/12 - 1.68 points per game
2012/13 - 1.97 points per game
2013/14 - 2.06 points per game

I can count. So anyone claiming underperformance should move to the left.
Look at this Johnny come lately of course there's no cognizance of the fact that there were managerial changes and the stats from 2013/2014 are from a much smaller sample size. You think say na your maiguard you dey follow argue?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by A40(m): 8:13pm On Dec 28, 2013
Ibime: This post is utter rubbish! Not only rubbish, but completely duplicitous.

How many Chelsea players did I include in Bayern 11? Cech and Ivanovic, maybe Cahill. Don't ever attribute well-known ninnies opinions to me.
Stop frothing in the mouth like an !mbecile! I even gave you credit in previous posts for not towing that line of tomfoolery so stop venting like you are going through your menses

Ibime: You claim Jose negative footie is stopping strikers from scoring, yet you would be the no1 champion to tell us how rubbish our first choice striker is. The last 3 years you've spent telling us shekpe keeper is the worst striker in Europe so don't start chatting rubbish now.
What a simpleton you are! You are so outdated like Betamax and Technicolor. Shekpe keeper is a shyte striker that has not changed but has Mourinho done anything to improve the lot of shekpe keeper?

Ibime: Couldn't give a hoot what you're spewing about Fernandinho, Flamini or Ramsey. Swap them for Mikel and tell us whose central midfield is not up to par. I would swap Liverpools central midfield of Allen, Henderson, Lucas etc over the dead legs in Chelsea midfield without thinking twice, and even that, not to mention the galactic influence of Suarez on that team.
Oga comot for here! Who is Fernandinho and what has Flamini or Ramsey achieved for club and country? While I don't think Mikel is the best thing since sliced bread you have to be Peter Griffin dumb to compare those nonentities to Mikel.

Lol you would swap Allen,Henderson,Lucas for Ramires,Lampard etc. Cool story

Ibime: And you crown your dubiousness by citing UEFA league win as evidence of good performance by Rafa over JM, a competition where Benfica was the only decent team we faced and they even played us off the park.
Stop arguing out of context! Rafa won a trophy regardless of how badly you might hate him he did what he could and achieved the barest minimum even with deplorable work conditions. JM's performance is still under review! He can still finish out of the top 4 and go trophyless hence why I said "so far" or should I include reading into your list of handicaps

This was the same Europa League that Man U and Man City got brutally r@ped in. So stop chatting like it was garri and there was a guarantee of victory

Ibime: Now compare league performance between Jose, Rafa, RDM and AVB. It is plain to see that Chelsea team is NOWHERE NEAR the best team in England, consistently struggling to qualify for UCL, finishing 20 points behind the Champions every year etc, and you are yarning opata about UEFA Cup, whilst Jose somehow manages to keep this team in contention. A team who finished 20 points behind for the last 3 years. May Amadioha fire your tongue!
My friend will you mechionu there! When would you stop with these your rubbish illustrations? AVB and RDM (incompetent and rookie coaches) Rafa (enemy of the state took control of the team mid-season) versus Mourinho who has the benefit of a strong squad never mind the other intangibles! I'm sure RDM and Rafa were 20 points behind the leaders in the league by December ba. We are supposed to kill malu because Chelsea have achieved the barest minimum with the quality on ground. Phuck outta here
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by A40(m): 6:04pm On Dec 28, 2013
ritchboy: Bendtner has only started one game(and still managed to score, something apparently illegal for Chelsea strikers). Giroud despite his dip in form has still comfortably outperformed all Chelsea's strikers. Podolski and Walcott also just returned from long-term injuries and are already banging in goals for fun. The CF role is not alien to either of them.

Anyone who thinks Chelsea have the best squad needs to get a clue.
Lol apparently someone that cannot separate ability from underperformance is busy talking about clues. How rich! (Pun intended)

Of course when one coach is a disciple of negative/park the bus football while his rivals run a more expansive ship odds are strikers from the latter team are bound to score more!

Looking at Brendan Rodgers and the average players (bar Suarez) at Liverpool and tell me why Mourinho with all that attacking talent isn't getting more out of his team

Ibime: I believe Ritchboy has answered all these questions already. Chelsea have the greatest depth of wingers, but midfield and strikeforce is not comparable to City, Pool or Arsenal. That is not having the best squad.
This same Chelsea got to back to back Finals in European competitions its a joke to even compare them to Liverpool or Arsenal in any area of the pitch

Ibime: You don't get 3 points for parading De Bruyne, Schurrle or Willian on your bench. You get 3 points when Suarez, Negredo and Aguero hit the back of the net or when Fernandinho, Yaya, Ramsey and Flamini run the midfield.
Prior to the first few months of the season would you even list Ramsey as a decent player?

Or is it Fernandinho that was r@ped by all and sundry up till December that you want to use as an example?

Flamini? Looooool! An AC Milan reject! Milan's central midfield these days (De Jong,Kpoli grin grin Muntari,Montolivo)

Ibime: Other than that, it's fine margins between Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Silva, Nasri, Coutinho, Cazorla and Ozil. Infact nothing between them so yes, Chelsea have a poorly equipped squad, although I know JM haters will say anything to pin blame on JM. So why did AVB, RDM & Rafa struggle to qualify for UCL with this 'greatest squad'? Nonsense!!
Coutinho lool! Nasri loool! Mata,Hazard,Oscar trifecta beats any EPL attacking midfield combination hands down. The numbers are there for all to see

AVB's incompetence is an open secret! Some of us saw right through him when he was hired

RDM was a greenhorn and even at that he delivered with this squad despite his negligible coaching experience

Rafa won a trophy! City,Liverpool,Arsenal with their "superior squads" did not

JM deserves no credit so far! He hasn't done shyte! If you are looking for who to give credit then Brendan Rodgers says hi! What he's doing with average Joes like Allen,Coutinho,Henderson,Flanagan,Sterling etc is uber-admirable

Chelsea has the best squad! No doubt about it. Are they underperforming? Absolutely! But everyone knows at home and abroad over the last 2-3 seasons no team in England can match their exploits

Heck not too long ago people were busy ranting about how 7-8 players from Chelsea would make it into Bayern (best team in the world's squad) now all of a sudden they are not good enough? Make up your minds people!

Premiership refs are the scum of the universe! As if wrongly denying Suarez an assist was not bad enough yall issued him a dubious booking as well. I can now see why Suarez initially wanted to leave Liverpool too! This guy is surrounded by utter shyte! Dude was serving the chances on a plate like Ainsley Harriott but these bums couldn't simply finish! I'm suprised he wasn't given any bonus points because he was by far the best player on the pitch

afrodoc: Well according to whoscored.com in the champion's league Kompany has been better than Boateng, and this has been a poor season for Kompany going by his usual standards.

OVERALL PLAYER RATING..........Kompany 7.15 Boateng 6.74

tackle per game ....................Kompany 1.5 Boateng 1.8

interceptions/game................ Kompany 3.5 Boateng 2.3

fouls per game.......................Kompany 0.5 Boateng 0.8

offsides won.........................Kompany 2.5 Boateng 1.2

clearances/game...................Kompany 3 Boateng 4.5
Orisirisi!! Kompany played 2 games and Boateng 4. Simple logic dictates that while making comparisons the stats would always be skewed in favor of the player with the smaller sample size. Let's not even add the fact that one of those games came against the immortal Victoria Plzen

Its a disgrace that Kompany's stats are less than .4 better despite playing fewer games and weaker opposition
